Season 2, Episode 37: Books that Become Movies, and Whether We Love or Hate Them
Today, Kaytee and Mindy are discussing:
Bookish Moments: the COVID(eo) with kids recording and podcast messages during the coronavirus “situation”
Current Reads: each of us shares three books we’ve been reading lately and there’s a bit of sass in here about the buddy read we recently did together
Deep Dive: Books to movies… the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Book Presses: we’ve got a favorite author who has been reading his books aloud on Facebook, as well as a bonus book to movie pick!
